Great and Wonderful Intelligent Creator

I have complained a lot about my Neurological Practice class a lot since the semester started three weeks ago. I really just complain because we are in that one class 10 hours a week which in turn means we have covered a whole lot of material. The class is very worth while and its all information I need and want to know. I just wasn't expecting this load this semester. I am adjusting to our schedule.

I do find myself in class in awe of our Creator. I will share with you just a few of examples of what I have learned that point to a very intelligent all knowing Creator.

Safety mechanism: The nerves that respond to pain regrow after injury faster than the nerves for touch. The nerves that sense pain grow back on average 1.08mm a day where as the nerves that respond to touch regrow .78 mm a day.

If you were to take a slice of the spinal cord, you would see a butterfly. Butterflies symbolize new life.


Your blood vessels in your brain are laid out in such a way that if there is a block one way blood can go another direction to still nourish that part of the brain. How cool is that?

You have tracts of neurons running through your spinal cord. Each tract has a specific start and end point. Each tract has a specific type of message to carry. There's redundancy with in these tracts. If you were to have a spinal cord injury that cut the tract that brings the message of light touch, you might still have "hard" touch.

Your nerves that travel to your heart, lungs, and digestive system branch off from your spinal cord up in your neck. This leads to a smaller chance that these would be effected in an spinal cord injury.

Just a few tid-bits for you, that in my eyes point to a very intelligent Creator. I take my test this afternoon after lunch.
